📉 A staggering 59% of Americans believe former U.S. President Donald Trump's policies worsened the nation's economy, according to a new CNN poll. That’s up from 51% in March, signaling growing frustration as voters reckon with rising costs and trade tensions.
🛍️💸 Six in 10 respondents say Trump’s actions increased their cost of living, with only 12% claiming his policies lowered prices. Meanwhile, enthusiasm for the economy has flatlined: just 34% of Americans are optimistic, while 37% say they’re “afraid” of what’s next.
🌐 Trade policies approved by the Trump-era White House remain deeply unpopular, with critics arguing they’ve failed to bolster economic stability. “The impact of new tariffs hasn’t fully hit yet—and people are already stressed,” the report noted.
🗣️ Will this shape the 2024 election? With economic confidence at a low, the poll highlights a nation divided over Trump’s legacy—and bracing for what comes next.
